Customs Says Fixing Official Duty Rates Is The Function Of CBN

Customs Says Fixing Official Duty Rates Is The Function Of CBN
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

The Nigerian Customs Service has refuted reports that it will begin to use the rate of N285 to the dollar for the calculation of duty on all imports from Wednesday June 1, 2016.

According to the Public Relations Officer to the Customs, Wale Adeniyi, the responsibility of fixing official duty rates is the function of the CBN, hence the Service could not have been the one to announce a new official rate:

“The attention of the Nigeria Customs Service has been drawn to a misleading publication in some online platforms claiming that the Service has announced N285 per dollar for duty calculation as from 1st June 2016.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the responsibility of fixing official duty rates is the function of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) hence the Service could not have been the one to announce a new official rate as purported in the publication that gave no source. The extant rate issued by CBN which is still the basis for duty calculation is N197.

“Nigeria Customs Service has not received any new rate from the CBN neither is it aware of any dissemination of contrary information on this subject matter.

“The General Public is therefore advised to discountenance the misleading publication and continue to comply with the extant rates until such a time as may be deemed fit for review by the CBN.”

You may recall that President Buhari has given the CBN the go-ahead to introduce flexibility in the naira exchange rate.
